FEFAC President Pedro Cordero said: “The European feed & livestock sector is again facing uncertain times in the context of rising geopolitical tension. We remain however fully committed to the objectives of the FEFAC Sustainability Charter 2030. Our companies are investing in innovative animal nutrition solutions for their customers which strengthen the resilience and competitiveness of the whole EU livestock and aquaculture sector. I welcome all members and stakeholders to attend our 68th FEFAC Public Annual Meeting to explore practical and economically viable value chain approaches meeting European consumers and societal demands”.
